"Mom, listen to me. Qingqing and I love each other freely. We love each other. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Qingqing well. From now on, we will listen to Qingqing in everything we do. Whatever Qingqing says goes."
Hearing Dong Xiulan's words of concern, Gu Nanxun quickly reassured her.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry! Nanxun is very good to me, he takes good care of me!"
"Mom, do you know? Nanxun is also a soldier, just like the other brothers, only he's retired. And he's incredibly handsome! He's 1.85 meters tall, handsome, gentle, and considerate. He can even cook. Most importantly, he's good to your daughter."
"Mom, I've thought it through. I'll get married sooner or later. It's not easy to meet such a good man, so I have to seize the opportunity. What if I miss out? Right, Mom?"
"Mom, Nanxun is so popular! Lots of girls like him, but none of them can beat your daughter to him!"
"Mom, don't worry, Nanxun promised me that he will go wherever I go. When I go back to the city, I will take Nanxun with me."
Sensing Dong Xiulan's worry, Lin Qing couldn't help but say to her that in her eyes, no matter how good someone was, nothing was better than her brother Nanxun. She wished she could tell Dong Xiulan all of Nanxun's good qualities, just so that Dong Xiulan could feel at ease and give them her blessings.
"Really, Qingqing? Is he really willing to go back to the city with you? What about his family? Are they willing too?"
Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Dong Xiulan said excitedly that she was against her daughter's marriage. On the one hand, she was worried about her daughter, and on the other hand, she was afraid that after her daughter got married, she would stay in the countryside and she would never see her daughter again.
Since her daughter was determined to marry him, it would be even better if he could come back with her. They could figure out a way to bring their daughter and son-in-law back to the city together. Wouldn't their daughter still be by their side? Thinking of this, Dong Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, my family is willing. I'll go wherever Qingqing goes from now on."
Upon hearing Dong Xiulan's question, Gu Nanxun quickly replied. It was already agreed upon, and besides, he had no attachment to this place. The Gu family wasn't his biological family, and they had severed ties. As for his biological family, he hadn't yet decided whether to acknowledge them. They certainly had no right to object, so he would naturally follow Qingqing.
"Qingqing, Mom knows that I can't stop you, but remember, Mom, your dad, your brother and I will always be your support. If Xiao Gu treats you badly in the future, just tell Mom. No matter how far away we are, we will always stand up for you."
Dong Xiulan knew she couldn't stop Qingqing. Her daughter was so happy talking about her boyfriend that she could feel it through the phone line. She had never seen her daughter so happy before. Her daughter really liked that young man named Gu Nanxun. She just hoped that her daughter's love wouldn't be misplaced.
Actually, she had been anxious ever since her daughter went to the countryside, especially worried that her daughter would stay there and not be able to come back. She said she would help her daughter come back, but it's not that easy! If it were easy, her daughter wouldn't have had to go to the countryside.
Regardless, with Gu Nanxun's promise, Dong Xiulan felt a little relieved, thinking that there would always be opportunities in the future.
But Dong Xiulan didn't know that she would have to wait 10 years for this opportunity.
"Of course, Mom, don't worry, he listens to everything I say. Once I can take leave to go home, I'll bring him home to meet you both, and you'll definitely be satisfied."
Hearing Dong Xiulan agree, Lin Qing finally felt relieved and quickly assured Dong Xiulan.
"Qingqing, can't we wait a bit before getting the marriage certificate? Why don't you bring him back so your parents can see him before we get the certificate? Is that okay?"
Dong Xiulan asked tentatively, still worried about her daughter and wanting to help her make a decision, even though she knew she couldn't help her daughter much.
"Mom, I can't wait any longer. I want to be with him. Mom, don't worry! I will be happy, really."
"Okay, Qingqing, remember what Mom said. Call Mom if you need anything. No matter how far away you are, Mom will help you."
"Okay... I got it... Mom, there are people in line behind me, so I'll hang up now. Could you tell Dad and my brother for me?"
Lin Qing hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking, afraid that if she waited any longer, she would burst into tears.
Lin Qing has always felt that marriage is her own business, and even if she has someone to rely on in this life, she is used to solving things on her own.
If Gu Nanxun hadn't reminded her to call her family today, she probably would have forgotten, and in the end, she would have either written a letter or called after getting the marriage certificate.
"Qingqing, don't worry, I will treat you well. We will take leave to go back and see your parents during the Chinese New Year this year."
Gu Nanxun carefully wiped away Lin Qing's tears and then said.
"My parents?"
Hearing that Gu Nanxun had said something wrong, Lin Qing couldn't help but remind him.
"They are our parents, it's my fault, I misspoke, they are our parents..."
Seeing Lin Qing's mischievous appearance, Gu Nanxun helplessly ruffled Lin Qing's hair and said.
"Then, baby, let's go get our marriage certificate!"
"Okay, but we need to get a haircut first, then take photos, and then get our marriage certificate."
"Okay, whatever you say."
To be honest, the hairstyles of that era weren't very attractive. They were either parted in the middle or in a 3/7 split. The barbers' skills were only slightly better than Lin Qing's. They just didn't look like they were chewed by a dog, but they weren't fashionable at all. However, Gu Nanxun was handsome, and even such an ugly hairstyle looked fashionable on him.
"How about it? My skills are pretty good, aren't they? It looks beautiful!"
The barber looked at Gu Nanxun proudly and said.
"Hmm, not bad, very handsome."
Lin Qing agreed, but she really wanted to tell the old man that it wasn't his cooking skills that were good, but that her brother Nanxun was handsome.
However, Lin Qing still happily flattered the old man. She was in a good mood today, so she decided to make him happy too!
Then Lin Qing and Gu Nanxuan went to the photo studio together. They took six photos together and six photos of each other individually.
"Young man, young lady, can I put your photos on the wall? I can give you a discount."
The photographer chuckled and said to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun, "This young couple is so pleasing to the eye. The man is handsome and the woman is pretty. The photos are really beautiful. If they could be posted on the wall, it would be great publicity."
"No need, sir, we don't like displaying the photos."
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance, and Gu Nanxun continued, saying that he didn't like his wife's photos being looked at by others.
"Well, that's a real shame."
Hearing that Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing did not agree, the photographer did not insist, but said with a regretful expression.
"He's gone, Brother Nanxun went to get his marriage certificate..."
